@brynet I see that #openbsd has pretty good Intel WiFi support. Better than FreeBSD.

I'm curious, is it mad reverse engineering effort? some kind of open source coop with Intel? we just lucky?

How it is done?

I think it's just someone gets an itch to make something work and then they do it. If it's correct and maintainable it goes in.
